Arsenic Removal; MetSorb™ HMRG

Highly Effective, Low-Cost Adsorbent for Reduction of Arsenic III & V and a Wide Variety of Heavy Metals

MetSorb HMRG adsorbent utilizes a patent-pending material for aresnic removal as well as the removal of a wide range of contaminants in water. Empty bed contact times as low as 10 seconds achieve high arsenic removal efficiencies. The material affords a higher arsenic removal capacity and a lower level of ion interference than competitive iron and alumina based products.

HMRG adsorbent's adsorptive capacity for arsenic removal will vary with the solution concentration of contaminant. For example, an arsenic solution of 50 ppm will give an arsenic removal capacity of 15 grams of arsenic per kilogram of HMRG adsorbent at a pH of 7. Lowering the arsenic solution concentration to 50 ppb will give an arsenic removal capacity of 0.5 grams of arsenic per kilogram of HMRG adsorbent.
